Alright, second post for today.
Cardio was good today - I wasn't feeling overly fatigued like I was yesterday. I think I may have just started out too hard yesterday and it messed me up for the duration of the run. I'm still rockin' 2.4 miles, but I feel like I'm getting more consistent and faster, as I had 30 seconds to go when I hit the 2.4 mark. 2.5 should happen sometime soon. Tenacious D concert was a good motivator.
Question about cardio: I'm not thinking about moving up quite yet, but when I do, should I be increasing the resistance on my elliptical, or running for longer? Keep in mind that I'm not really trying to make my legs stronger, just my cardio.
Workout today was good. Upped my Shrugs to 10 reps of 45lbs, and next workout I'm going to increase my TVOs to 8 reps of 10lbs. I also upped my back exercise weight a bit, and may need to increase it more next time as well.
Also, I noticed today that I've developed some pretty nice cuts on my arms (muscle definition, I mean, not, ya know, the bloody kind). Granted, I was under some pretty forgiving lighting, but still! Nice to be seeing some results! I'm hoping to see more soon! EXCLAMATIONS!!!!!

hmm.. idk about elipticals but on a treadmill i would just make the pace a lil faster and at the same time go for a lil longer, an effective cardio time for me is around 30 to 50 mins, usually i do 40. And also, if you're looking to burn fat quick, look into high intensity interval training (HIIT).
ReplyDeleteRun longer, if you have the time.
ReplyDeleteA higher resistance you're not used to will just make you tired faster.
